Bengals great Ken Riley named a senior nominee for 2023 Pro Football Hall of Fame class

Cincinnati Bengals legend Ken Riley will finally get the recognition that's eluded him for decades as he made it through as a senior nominee to the Pro Football Hall of Fame class of 2023. Senior nominees are usually unanimously elected to the Hall of Fame.

Riley, fifth on the NFL's all-time list for interceptions (65), is the only defensive back in the top five all time in interceptions to not be enshrined in Canton.
